"You look grumpier by the day. Here, take this slut and fuck her. I'm sure you haven't been laid in ages. Don't tell me it's because of that low life Anna." Robert spat. Damian was done playing puppet. He knew his father was not a good man.

Robert shoved the skimply dressed woman to him. "I'm sure she'll take away your bad mood." He snickered. Damian walked past his father slamming the door behind him. He had to look for a way to meet Sophia and warn her. He knew Robert was keeping tabs on him.

"Get the plane ready. We're going to Chicago." "So what are your plans. Now that we know your mother's in Chicago?" Rowan asked. "My head is literally throbbing. My sister's suffering for something she didn't do."

"You're also suffering." Rowan interjected. "This isn't about me Rowan. I don't care if I die taking down that scumbag so that my sister lives a peaceful life like most teens." Rowan's heart fluttered. He loved how his name sounded on her lips.

"Don't say that. You won't die and that I can assure you. I'm here. For you. With you." Rowan's heart constricted. He couldn't imagine Sophia dying. That would kill him.

Sophia nodded and looked out the window. Since when had her peaceful life come to this. She was lost in her thoughts that she fell asleep on Rowan's shoulder.

He lightly traced her facial features while brushing her curls softly from her face. "I'm here for you and by all means when this comes to an end I hope you'll finally notice me." He said and kissed her forehead.

Helen had just brought groceries and was about to cross the road when a van passed by and men in black jumped out covering her mouth. "Not a word bitch or your gone. It's time you finish what you started."

He laughed humourlessly. Damian thought he could outsmart him by sending messages to Sophia through a different number. He would show him he was far ahead. "Tie him up in the warehouse. Helen will be here in a few." It was time for the highly awaited family reunion.

Rowan carried Sophia in his arms as he took them into the car. She hadn't been sleeping at all for the past week and everything was taking a toll on her. "Take us to this address."

"What the hell? How did I get here? Are we in Chicago?" Sophia bombarded him with questions. "Yes we are and this is not the time for a fight." Sophia's phone buzzed indicating a message.

Opening it she nearly fell of the seat. It was a video. "Sophia darling, look around. Beautiful isn't it?" Her sister lay on the floor tied up unconscious. "Before you think of insulting me. Wanna talk to your lovely mother. Helen, a word." He laughed sinisterly.

Sophia was speechless. "And our little Anna. On a serious note. I'm done playing games. You meet me at the address I will send you and don't even think of calling the police. It's time we had a heart to heart talk."

For the first time Sophia cried. "Come here." Rowan hugged her tightly. If only he could ease her pain and shoulder all her troubles he would do it in a heartbeat. "Everything's going to be alright. Calm down and be strong for your sister okay? You've been doing it all these years. I know you can do it now." He held her face between his hands.

"You're Sophia Parker. We can do this." "Thank you Rowan. I know I've been a bitch to you but you still pushed through." Sophia suddenly realised that she was straddling him and flushed. Rowan smirked and chuckled.

When her phone buzzed it brought her back to the gruesome reality that awaited them. Dropping off the driver, Rowan drove them there. He just hoped they would make it out alive.

"You surely gained weight." He said as he pressed the barrel of the gun on her head. "This is what happens when you bear the children of my brother." He spat in disgust.

"Boss, Sophia and her boyfriend are here." "Bring them in. Oh this is going to be good. I've waited too long. Bring Damian also. The great family reunion."

Sophia and Rowan were taken into the warehouse by the henchmen. "We have to make sure there are no weapons on you." Rowan squeezed Sophia's hand assuring her that everything would be alright. She wasn't so sure.

"Ahhh, you're here my dear. Welcome home." He said. "Robert?!" Sophia spat. "Yes it is I." Robert narrowed his eyes into slits. She glanced around the room and spotted Macy. "Look, if you have any vendetta with me then I'm here. Let my sister go."

"Tie them up." He ordered. "You see darling, there are a couple of things I hate and leading the list are lies and betrayal. Your mother dearest here is a deadly betrayer."
